After fixing a round of problems, www.SharingLinks.com has been very stable and growing nicely. And for that I want to thank those of you who have invested your time in adding bookmarks. I think it all has been worthwhile when you look at the wonderful collection of educational bookmarks we’ve created!

The next step I want to take with the site is to open the beta test to those invited by you (our existing members.) This will help in a couple of ways. First, it will add volume slowly, so we can continue to monitor server performance. And second, it will increase our reach in the educational community, while keeping our profile low to spammers.

Before doing that, I want to find out what you think about SharingLinks.com, how you use it, and what we can do to improve it.

Will you take a few minutes to complete this survey?

Thank you!

I got tons of encouraging feedback on my SharingLinks Webinar idea. So, I am moving forward on putting together a live call-in webinar that will demonstrate how to use SharingLinks.

I’m a bit nervous about putting on my first live event, and I could use your help.

Will you tell me what you’d like me to cover, and what questions you’d like answered? I have a really short (multiple-choice) survey you can fill out here:

SharingLinks Webinar Survey

Thanks so much.

I am toying with the idea of doing a webinar tour of SharingLinks to show off some of its features, and also show you step-by-step how to start using it.

A webinar is a combination teleconference and web seminar … so you would hear me via the telephone, and also see my demo on your computer in real-time. We would go through submitted questions, and probably also be able to handle questions live. The best part is that it can all be recorded so others can watch at a later time.

Does that sound interesting? If so, I will put together a survey so you can let me know what topics you would like me to cover. But for now, just drop me a comment below if that sounds interesting to you.

We have just added an incredibly powerful tool to the Sharing Links arsenal of tricks. It is called the Sharing Links Browser Search, and it lets you search your own bookmarks (and the recommendations of the Sharing Links community) right from your browser.

You will need Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 2 for this to work, but with a simple click to install, this new addition is really “da bomb!”

Here is the install page. It includes a few screenshots to show you exactly what to expect.
